Hi! Getting a late start, but I am in. During a recent physical, I found out that I am pre-diabetic. Scary!! My doctor put me on a strict low-carb/sugar diet. My triglycerides are also elevated. Low carb is also supposed to correct this. Looking forward to losing 20 pounds and seeing better blood results by Easter!!

Good morning to all losers!
I am just checking in before heading to the gym. Today is personal training for 30 minutes then Aquafit for 60 minutes. I've had a great breakfast of oatmeal and egg white /cheese omelette and my snack is in the bag.
I hope all of you have a wonderful and productive day as you move along in your journey.
Welcome to new folks.
Marie, keep warm!
Happy New Years Eve!!0 -
Happy New Years Eve, everyone! Marie, thank you for this super friendly thread/group! I've participated in a few challenges/groups and this is by far the nicest group of folks. :-)
I neglected to write where I live on my earlier posts. I live on the beautiful Eastern Shore of Maryland. They call it God's country and it's fairly rural with lots of farms, cows, and chickens. It's a great area for walking and bicycling.
No exercise yesterday, as I decided to take one day to rest after all my walking. Hubby plans to get off early and we'll hit the road again for a nice LONG walk. Not sure if we'll stay up until midnight to watch the ball drop. At 51, I prefer an earlier bedtime than I did in my 20s and 30s. LOL
I'm very excited about tomorrow being the start of 2015. I have made a resolution for 2015 to give up something that slows my weight loss. Prayers for success in this are always welcome!
Are any of you making a resolution for a specific change in 2015 (other than just "lose weight")?
Barbie, I LOVE this from your posts: The reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they want the MOST for what they want at the MOMENT.
I am adopting this for myself and my word for 2015 is “mindful” ....THANK YOU!

Good morning friends! The last day of 2014! Imagine where we will be this time in 2015 - thinner!
Congrats Momma (Marie) on the loss! You are doing great! My scale also showed a loss this morning but I don't trust it! Saturday will tell!
I tested out walking through our huge warehouse yesterday and only did half of it and that was 1,000 steps. Got my weekly status email from FitBit today and I am averaging just over 4,000 steps per day - gotta pick that up!
DH made chili last night....so good! I could not have lost what I have without his support. He is the cook in our house since he is retired. Now if I could just convince him that he also needs to take off some pounds!
Have a safe and happy New Year's Eve!

January goals:

I don't make resolutions for the whole year. Each month has been a new beginning for me. In January I will be redoubling my efforts to do strength training twice a week. I know how important it is, and it has been difficult for me to do it regularly.
my word for 2015 will be "now"----I want to refrain from wallowing in past mistakes and worrying about future problems Barbie in chilly NW Washington 0 -

Barbie...Now is a great word for the new year! I may have to share it with you! Today is the only day we can control - yesterday is history and tomorrow is a wish! So I will combine it with my mantra - No Matter What...I will do this NOW!

Becky- I have been to your great state of Maryland. We attended the boat show in Annapolis and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were very close to the Academy and it was also the Army/Navy game.
- It was very busy but loved the town.
Good luck everyone on Friday.
